A small festival in a small area of Hopkinsville, Kentucky, is going for big results this year as it coincides with this summer's total solar eclipse.

This will be the seventh annual Little Green Man Days festival for Kelly, which was the site of an alleged landing of aliens on Aug. 21, 1955. The story of that event sparked the idea for Steven Spielberg’s unreleased film “Night Skies,” which was later adapted into the film “E.T. the Extra Terrestrial."

The festival starts Friday, Aug. 18, with vendors, food and live music through the weekend, concluding at 3 p.m. Monday, Aug. 21, following the eclipse.

Hopkinsville is one of the largest few cities in America directly at the center of the path for the total solar eclipse. It will receive two minutes and 40 seconds of "totality," or total obstruction of the sun by the moon, starting at 1:24 p.m. that day.

To help bring attention to the Little Green Man Days festival, one festival-goer will take home a 2007 Mitsubishi Eclipse.

Event organizer Frank Brown announced the giveaway on Saturday from the Auto Masters of Clarksville, Tennessee, with the Little Green Man parade float and some little green men resting behind him.

The raffle will be held after the eclipse on Aug. 21 at Kelley Station Park in Hopkinsville. Festival parking payment will include one raffle ticket.
